A MAN who will deliberately buy
goods on a credit with no intention OF
paying for them is more dangerous
than the prowling thief. He not only
robs you of your money, but Of your
confidence in humanity as well. He is
the direct cause of poor but honest
men being refused credit, and he is
a disgrace upon the face Of the earth.
If you owe your neighbor pay him
when the debt is due; If you are unable
to pay it when due, 60 to him and
like man tell him the reason you can
not pay, and show him that your will
is good, and that you are acting in
good faith, and your creditor will ac-
commodate you longer. 1t is contempt
ible to avoid your creditors, and more
contemplate to get angry when
dunned.

chimes in with:
That is undoubtedly true. And if

An Elmlra Man Draws Over S13, 900
Back Pension.
Francis Patterson, a well known Elmita
character, and mentioned only as Blind
Patterson, has received $l3 3G2 back pension
from the government, and hereafter will le-
ceivc $72 per month. Patterson has had O
remarkable career. At the age of "a he
enlisted in the Union army, and was a
robust healthy man with good sight One
day while on picket duty he was struck
completely blind. He tried to find
his way back to camp, but
was unable to do so, and wandered off, where
he does not know. He was classed as a de-
sertcr, but BY chance escaped arrest. Patter-
son returned TO Elmira, where his infrmity
was established, and from that time ''BIind''
Patterson has roamed the streets of EImira a
beggar. He was led around by his son few
years, but during the past Is years his leader
was we'll trained shepherd dog. The blind
soldier'i wife left him. his son abandoned him,
and he became helpless. A hand organ was
bought for Patterson, but the first day he used
1t no got drunk and completely knocked the
muse out of it.
For several years his counsel has been urg-
ing his application for pension, but found
much difficulty, owing to tho charge of deser-
ton against him. Recently the charge WAS
removed, and the pension, the largest ever
paid by the government, was received. An
effort was male to appoint guardian over
Patterson, but this was unsuccessful Pattcr,
sons wife, on hearing Of the old soldiers good
fortune, returned and is now living with him
There are several persons greatly interested in
the old mans affairs now who heretofore
would not look at him, and it is feared that
Pattcrson's "windialp will grow beautifully

carry out the wishes of the Government.
The medal is oval in shape, half an inch
in thickness, and three inches in its
longest diameter. 1t bears on one side q
representation of very trustful settler
shaking hands with an Indian, with 8
tomahawk and pipe crossed underneath.
The diverse side bears the bust of the
President, who is supposed to present
the medal. The medals are bronze, cost.
ing the Government fifty cents apiece,
and silver costing So apiece. The latter
are given to chiefs and head men.
Up to this time the Indian Bureau has
been presenting Indians with medal:

medals on hand. The new ones received
from the Mint bear an excellent likeness
of Mr.. Cleveland, whose somewhat ro
